Casanova di Neri Cerretalto Brunello di Montalcino 2019

Wow. Seductive aromas of slate, violets and black cherries as well as some graphite and cedar. Full-bodied, this has incredible depth, intensity and purity, building on the palate with focused fruit and pronounced tannins. Goes on for minutes. A wine for the long run. Best of the vintage? Try after 2029. Score – 100. (jamessuckling.com, Dec. 11, 2024)
